"Recovering" F5 from Appliance mode

When a device is activated with license that include App Mode the root user and all access to the BASH is being blocked.

In case the activation of the app mode was not wanted we need to install a different license without this feature and modify the DB to disable this mode, to do so just run the following command after installing the new key :
